We’ve all wondered it at some point over the past two years: If I just had Covid 19 and my partner tests positive a few weeks later, is it safe to spend time with them? Given what we think we know about immunity, we might assume the answer to this question is a resounding yes, reported DW. But scientists say: It depends. One thing is clear: If you have infected your partner, it’s safe to hang out with them even if you test negative for the virus, because you both have the same variant, said Adam Squires, a lecturer in the University of Bath’s Department of Chemistry who studies aerosol transmission of the virus. Almost all researchers agree that after recovering from a Covid 19 infection, you are probably protected from reinfection with that specific variant for at least a month, reported DW.
The answer becomes more complicated if there’s reason to believe your partner got Covid 19 somewhere else. Maybe they tested positive two weeks after you had recovered, or they just returned from a long holiday. They could be infected with a different variant than the one that caused your infection. In a case like that, Squires said, the chances of your getting reinfected are probably low, but he added that it was impossible to say for certain. “It is unlikely, as far as we know, that you will get it,” Squires said, given that your infection was very recent. And, even if you did get reinfected, he added, your recent infection would protect you against severe disease. And he cautioned against going to meet immunocompromised relatives when your partner is still positive. “We don’t know enough to say you definitely can’t get Covid from your roommate or partner enough to pass it on,” he said, as reported by DW.
